IDE to SATA converter

I had the same issue with a Gigabyte board i had a month ago. It came with the drivers install disk so i installed everything, but every time it booted it wasted about 5 sconds telling me that the drivers are working properly and that i don't have to worry about a thing in my life even if the world would end....it was too annoying to bare so i switched back to Asus. Anyways either you try to find the right drivers over the net or just don't waste your time and get a PCI SATA card.

Hmm... so basically I just need to get a new harddrive? Actually could I just copy the information from the IDE drive to a SATA drive? Anyone know of some free software that would do that?

It's not the drive, it's the connection between the drive and the rest of the system. You need to get the right drivers to use that thing properly.

i have the exact same model. it does not work for me. i would also like to know.

Have you gone into your BIOS to enable your sata?

Well as far as I can tell the only options having to do with sata are Raid On and something else like ATA mode with Raid. But neither of these seem to change anything.

Did you hook up the power connector?

Bump. Still need to get this figured out.
